Releasing the Ladybugs

bugweek6

HUGE hats off to You Are the Roots for this splendid showing of ladybugs they released. I well remember the year we raised ladybugs (over four years ago) and I discovered that our ladybug habitat had a small cap that one of the boys (who shall remain nameless) had released our ladybugs into OUR habitat. They still abide with us to this day. So KUDOS!!! That is a whole lot of ladybugs – and I’m guessing a very fun bug week for your kiddos!!

Learning Through Children’s Books – Preschool & Kindergarten Community Linkup

Preschool and Kindergarten Community weekly linkup

Leaning through literature has been one of our children’s favorite ways to grasp various concepts and have fun together. We started out with many of the Before Five in a Row titles and branched out from there. Through painting, crafts, creative play, and hands-on activities there are various ways to expand on a story and learn.  This week I’m sharing several ideas from readers that started with a simple children’s book.

Don’t forget to link up a post or two of yours and share what you’ve been working on with your kids! Here are a few fun ideas from last week’s linkup.

Purple People Eater Art

Have a favorite book your kids enjoy? Create an art project based on that story! Westword Blog shares a cute one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater project her daughter painted after reading Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Peter and the Wolf
